Redundant colon plus diverticulosis

I’ve been told I have a twisted colon and diverticulitis. I’m supposed to take miralax daily. I guess this is something that cannot be repaired? I’m on the third day after colonoscopy and still have not had a bowel movement. I’m not sure what to expect.

@kjane322, It can take 2 to 3 days before you have a bowel movement after your colonoscopy because you completely emptied your colon and rectum ahead of the procedure.

To help you connect with other members, @prue @glhendricks @landoflakes @fuzzywuzzy1969 who have both a twisted colon and diverticulitis, I moved your question to this discussion:

Jane, do you typically have constipation or hard stools?
